Of teachers starting today? Probably not.

Older government employees often had ludicrously lucrative compensation packages compared to what we have now.

It may or may not depending on what group we're talking about.

> Many older teachers are getting forced out because, well, they're expensive

Do you have information for that one, the link provided just lists starting and average salaries.

What you describe as "ludicrously lucrative", I prefer to describe as "reasonable".

I mean, couldn't I equally well say that the compensation packages we have now are ludicrously miserly?
